On Golden Cliffs

This morning scene was painted from the beach overlooking the cliffs at Bates Beach just north of Ventura, CA.  

I was honored and humbled to be awarded first place with this piece in the 3rd Ventura Plein Air Invitational by judge Dan Shultz.

The competition took place from 1 - 5 Oct 2017, and was held in conjunction with the Ventura Art Walk held 0n 7 & 8 Oct.
